\n\t\t\t\"Adrian\t\t\t

Sid Vicious, Sex Pistols Oxford Street Glitterbest photo session, 1977<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

In a seemingly bizarre career move, in the mid-1970s Adrian Boot swapped being a physics teacher for a life as a music photographer. At the root of this change was the fact that he was teaching in Jamaica and had already begun to document the reggae and Rastafarian culture of the island.<\/p>\n

\u2018During that time I pursued my hobby as a photographer \u2013 mostly in black & white, and mostly people and street photography,\u2019 says Adrian. \u2018I wasn\u2019t so much interested in palm trees, beaches and blue skies. It was much more the gritty, reportage, sort of \u201cromantic side\u201d of photography. I came back from Jamaica with a hoard of black & white snaps I\u2019d taken over the years.<\/p>\n

\u2018I used to take photographs, make the prints in my house in Jamaica and take them round the local community and give them away. It was quite rare to get hold of a photographic print of anything, so I became quite popular. That gave me a lot of inroads into what was going on, and I came back [to England] and published a book called Babylon on a Thin Wire<\/em>, which was sort of the \u201cunderbelly\u201d of Jamaica. Thames & Hudson published it and there was an exhibition based around the prints at The Photographers\u2019 Gallery… but I thought that would be it.\u2019<\/p>\n

The book sold well. \u2018A lot of the images in the book are pictures of Rastafarians and musicians,\u2019 says Adrian. \u2018Don\u2019t forget that in 1972 nobody had ever heard of Rastafari or paid any notice at all to reggae or Jamaica.\u2019 By this time, Adrian was back in the UK teaching but decided to take a sabbatical year to pursue photography, \u2018…because people were calling me up all the time. I\u2019m still on the same sabbatical \u2013 I never went back!\u2019<\/p>\n

Adrian\u2019s \u2018can-do\u2019 approach certainly helped. \u2018In those days it was about being able to get a dozen or so prints, and get them onto the editor\u2019s desk the next morning,\u2019 he says. \u2018That\u2019s not such a frightening prospect these days, but when you had to process a roll of 400 ASA film for a live concert, then struggle to get a print, it was quite a challenge. It was less about how good the photography was; it was more about, \u201cDid you get a picture of so-and-so and where is it?\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

The Damned, Westway Session interrupted by police, London, 1975<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

The music papers<\/h2>\n

Adrian\u2019s work began to be published regularly in the music papers, and in 1975 he became staff photographer for Melody Maker<\/em>. \u2018You could count the number of photographers who were covering the music scene on the fingers of one hand,\u2019 he says. \u2018We were all shooting in black & white because, of course, [laughs] colour hadn\u2019t been invented yet… well as far as NME<\/em> and Melody Maker<\/em> were concerned. I was busy shooting every day. If it wasn\u2019t a concert, it was an artist in a hotel room or I\u2019d go out and try to get a photo of an artist who probably didn\u2019t want his photograph taken.\u2019<\/p>\n

He continues: \u2018Then punk came along and crossed over with reggae and the whole \u201cJamaica scene\u201d. Basically, they all lived on the same council estate so the music crossed over and you got a lot of white kids going to reggae \u201cshebeens\u201d and vice versa. So, that\u2019s how I kind of got involved in The Clash and the punk scene, as well as the reggae scene which was beginning to grow.\u2019<\/p>\n

Adrian hesitates to recognise punk as a \u2018movement\u2019 and explains: \u2018It always strikes me as quite strange the way that, years later, people try to intellectualise these phenomena. At the time, punks were almost the dregs of society; people who couldn\u2019t get jobs and were disenfranchised. Not much has changed \u2013 young people are still in the same state! The difference in those days was that you could still go to art school for free, mess around for three years and even form a band, which a lot of people did [laughs].<\/p>\n

\u2018They didn\u2019t care whether they were good enough to play music and the record companies weren\u2019t that interested anyway. So, from that point of view, I guess punk was a bit of a cultural thing, but I certainly didn\u2019t think it was anything special. It was a bunch of kids from the local council estate trying to form a band and doing their own magazines \u2013 lots of people were doing lots of different things.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

Working with punk rockers<\/h2>\n

Adrian was at the heart of documenting the punk scene in the UK and the US, but did he find the bands difficult to work with? \u2018Not really, no,\u2019 he says. \u2018The Clash were really easy \u2013 they were nice people and quite well educated; they were the \u201cart-school crowd\u201d I was talking about. With the Sex Pistols \u2013 well, John Lydon was an intelligent guy and he didn\u2019t suffer fools. The others, well, you wouldn\u2019t even try to have a conversation with Sid Vicious, but I only photographed the Sex Pistols two or three times.<\/p>\n

\u2018I photographed The Clash lots of times; I was a lot closer to them. But did I like their music? Sort of \u2013 I liked The Clash but I wasn\u2019t that keen on the Sex Pistols. I mean, their shows were always exciting \u2013 for me a band is great if they\u2019re photogenic and there\u2019s a lot going on on-stage. If it\u2019s just a guy with a guitar standing there for an hour and a half I tend not to like it, even though the music might be amazing. If somebody\u2019s jumping around the stage, causing mayhem with audiences erupting, then I\u2019m on the case and the time is filled with that; I don\u2019t get bored.\u2019<\/p>\n

Of the punk-era artists he worked with, Adrian has a few favourites. \u2018I liked working with Debbie Harry [of Blondie] because she was so picturesque,\u2019 he says. \u2018It revolved around whether I was going to get a good picture; if I knew I was going to get a good picture, I enjoyed it.\u2019<\/p>\n

As for his camera kit at the time, Adrian recalls: \u2018For concert work it would have been the trusty Nikon F-whatever and I always had a couple of lenses. I\u2019d have a 200mm lens, a fixed one \u2013 in those days zooms weren\u2019t that good \u2013 and I\u2019d have a wideangle lens, maybe a 28mm; then a 90mm, like a portrait lens. I also had two Leica M4s and an array of lenses, but they were useless for live concert photography. In fact, they were useless for most things except street photography and reasonably close-up stuff; they did have a telephoto lens but it was a pile of junk. It was only relatively recently that I let my Leicas go.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Adrian\t\t\t

The Clash in Belfast, 1977<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

The Clash in Belfast<\/h2>\n

Arguably Adrian\u2019s most famous punk photographs are of The Clash on the streets of Belfast in the midst of \u2018the Troubles\u2019 \u2013 a period when being an Englishman on the streets of the city was not viewed as a wise move. Adrian reveals: \u2018The Clash was always good, particularly with things like Belfast where we got into quite a lot of trouble… but I liked all that; I liked pushing the boundaries a bit. So there we were in Belfast; advised not to leave the hotel, which is precisely what we did. We got into a taxi and went down the Falls Road… I got into such trouble with the record company, which asked: \u201cWhat are you doing endangering the lives of our band?\u201d But the pictures got the covers of all three music papers \u2013 Sounds, Melody Maker and NME \u2013 the following week. After which CBS thought I was the best thing since sliced bread.\u2019<\/p>\n

Adrian adds: \u2018Technically, the pictures were rubbish. Because it was a very drizzly day, I pushed the 400 ASA Kodak Tri-X to 800 ASA, so it was a bit grainy. If they were entered into a photographic competition, to be judged on all the usual criteria, they would have been put in the dustbin. But because of the subject, and because no one else was able to get it as it was unique, it was successful. That\u2019s often the case. Photography is not so much about cameras, film and the process; it\u2019s about the interaction with people. It\u2019s about having enough bottle to knock on the dressing-room door.\u2019<\/p>\n

A selection of Adrian\u2019s iconic punk photographs is being exhibited at Proud Camden. \u2018We could start poking into our archives and start pulling out unusual, never-been- seen-before [pictures] but for an exhibition like this I think people want to see the icons,\u2019 says Adrian. \u2018So it tends to be the pictures that have already made a name for themselves that are used.\u2019<\/p>\n

He adds: \u2018I manage to make a living because, of course, Joe Strummer\u2019s dead, so you\u2019re never going to take another photograph of Joe Strummer. I guess if you\u2019re a portrait or celebrity photographer, the secret is to outlive your subject.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

Future projects<\/h2>\n

Adrian still shoots \u2013 including a recent project with singer Grace Jones \u2013 usually with his Nikon DSLR or personal pictures on his iPhone 6, which are often posted on his Facebook page. As for what\u2019s next, he explains: \u2018I\u2019ll be spending my days going through the photographs that I\u2019ve taken and putting those out. I\u2019m in my element ploughing through old negatives. There are bands and stuff that have never been scanned in and never printed. I enjoy the research side and I enjoy looking back and using the work. I kind of knew when I was doing it that I wasn\u2019t really going to be able to exploit it until I\u2019d have time to sit and go through it all.\u2019<\/p>\n

When asked if there is anything he would have changed about his career, Adrian says emphatically: \u2018No. Don\u2019t forget, for a long time I just considered it to be a sabbatical. I thought that sooner or later I\u2019d have to go back to teaching or get a proper job. I guess it was that that helped me through \u2013 the fact I didn\u2019t really care gave me a bit of a cavalier approach. If I\u2019d taken it too seriously, I wouldn\u2019t have done what I did. A lot of the photo sessions I got involved with were completely speculative; I wasn\u2019t necessarily being hired to do it. There was no money in it; it was just a great thing to do.\u2019<\/p>\n

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/Adrian-Boot-Punk.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-20 03:35:00","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=98622"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98622\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":98841,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98622\/revisions\/98841"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/98626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98622"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=98622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
